The White House insisted Thursday that Donald Trump´s lispy, halting performance Wednesday in an Israel policy speech is nothing to worry about, and a U.S. Navy doctor will release the results of a physical next year to prove it. The president´s speaking cadence became irregular and his speech slurred during part of his delivery, concluding with ´God bless the United Shhtates.´ ´There were a lot of questions on that. Frankly pretty ridiculous questions,´ White House press secretary Sarah Sanders told reporters on Thursday.´The president´s throat was dry. Nothing more than that.´ Sanders took a nothing-to-see-here approach on Thursday, and committed to

He appeared to have some congestion since his nasal breathing was noticeable. But he only had two misspoken words, which is pretty good for reading a teleprompter. He´s much more accustomed to winging it and the physiological effects of reading a speech like that at a pace like that are hard to know -- each person is different.

Oh please President Trump, stop letting the Dems, Media, Your adversaries, all of the above, they´re all the same....Please stop letting them drive any of your narrative.

They´re all fake news all the time now. They wouldn´t dare report on Hilary when there actually was news. They´re like monkeys flinging poo. And every time they get you to respond to them, they see that as a win for them. Leave the poo where it originates, with them, the Dems and media. Thank you.

Half a dozen times during that video you can see the President moving his mouth in a way that is obvious that he is working to adjust his plate. Another NOTHINGBBURGER for the Left to have a feeding frenzy over. Sheesh.

A friend’s very learned father taught his children to never come down to the level of people beneath their intellectual level; to never argue with anyone beneath their intellectual level. That admonishment has served his now aged children and their friends with whom they shared his wisdom very well.

Pelosi either has dementia or has made too many trips to the wine rack.Neither her or Hiterly has offered to take a doc´s exam.The left will grasp at any straw to get rid of Trump.They´re scared to death that he´ll get more converts as he goes along.The left simply can´t stand a moral authority president.

Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein refused to say on Wednesday whether the FBI paid for the infamous Trump dossier.Rosenstein, who was grilled by the House Judiciary Committee, suggested that he knew the answer to the question, which was posed by Florida Rep. Ron DeSantis.“Did the FBI pay for the dossier?” DeSantis asked. “I’m not in a position to answer that question,” Rosenstein responded. “Do you know the answer to the question?” the Republican DeSantis followed up. “I believe I know the answer, but the Intelligence Committee is the appropriate committee…” Rosenstein began.DeSantis interjected to assert that the Judiciary panel has

Omarosa Manigault was not fired and escorted out of the White House on Tuesday evening after cursing out Chief of Staff John Kelly, sources inside the building say. American Urban Radio Network White House Correspondent and CNN contributor April Ryan´s claim that she was is the result of a ´personal vendetta´ against Manigault, one said.The women who used to be friends have been tearing each other down since the first few weeks of the administration.In the wake of an announcement that Manigault would depart the White House next month, Ryan said in a series of tweets that sources told her the

Doug Jones believes he became the first Democrat Alabama will send to the U.S. Senate in more than a 30 years because he’s a “center-of-the-road political figure” who seeks “common ground” — a goal he discussed Wednesday with President Donald Trump.“It was a very gracious call,” Jones told reporters. “He congratulated me on the race that we had run. He congratulated me and my staff. … And we talked about finding that common ground. And he invited me up to the White House as soon as I get up there.”Jones rocked the political landscape Tuesday with his surprise defeat of

Appearing on NBC’s Today Wednesday morning to react to Democrat Doug Jones winning the Alabama special election for Senate, Meet the Press moderator Chuck Todd spun that the defeat of scandal-plagued Republican Roy Moore was not just a “one-off” and even bizarrely claimed that Democratic losses earlier in the year were a sign of building political momentum on the left. Co-host Savannah Guthrie began the discussion by wondering: “Chuck, a Democrat wins the Senate in Alabama, you haven’t said that in two decades. How did he do it?” In his rambling reply, Todd argued: He did it on the backs of

ATLANTIC CITY, N.J.- Dominick White has a bleak but clear-eyed view of his Atlantic City home in a public housing project known for crime and drugs."I grew up in a bad neighborhood," he said. "I´m trying to beat the odds and get away, and not become a statistic."On Monday morning, White will start training for a career as a construction worker, a move that could be a life-changer for him and 14 other young city residents. They were selected for a 12-week program that will teach them construction skills, and then connect them with jobs at the Hard Rock Hotel

An iconic cross in Ventura County, California survived the Thomas fire that ravaged the area over the past week and was left standing in what many people are calling a miracle.Everything surrounding the cross, which was located on top of a hill overlooking the Mission San Buenaventura church, was destroyed.Below is what the cross looked like beforehand: (Photo)The Thomas fire has straddled Santa Barbara and Ventura counties and has burned through 236,000 acres. It is only 25 percent contained as of Wednesday, according to NPR.Local ABC affiliate ABC 7 reports: “The original cross was placed on the hill in 1782.

Meghan McCain broke down in tears on The View on Wednesday as she talked about her father´s cancer diagnosis in an interview with Joe Biden. The emotional interview came as Sen. McCain´s office announced he had been hospitalized for ´normal side effects of his ongoing cancer therapy´. Sen. John McCain was diagnosed with the same form of aggressive brain cancer that Biden´s son Beau died of two years ago. ´I think about Beau almost every day,´ Meghan said, ´and I was told that this doesn´t get easier but you cultivate the tools to work with this and live with this.´Scroll

President Trump on Wednesday made his closing argument for passing a sweeping tax reform package, dangling the prospect of Americans seeing tax cuts by February if Congress can pass a bill by Christmas.“We´re so close right now, so close,” the president said during a speech at the White House.The president spoke as House and Senate negotiators were holding a meeting on a compromise plan that still must pass both chambers. Trump declared they have reached an agreement that will “deliver more jobs, higher wages and massive tax relief for American families and for American companies.” Then he lit a fire

On Wednesday, CNN published text messages between the former second-in-command in FBI counterintelligence, Peter Strzok, and his mistress and co-worker Lisa Page. Strzok was involved in the Hillary Clinton email investigation, instrumental in helping to launch the investigation into supposed collusion between Russia and the Trump campaign, and staffed on the Trump-Russia investigation itself. He was fired by special investigator Robert Mueller after these texts were uncovered.Now, one of those texts may wound the special investigation beyond repair.That text is dated August 15, 2016. Strzok texted Page, “I want to believe the path you threw out for consideration in [deputy

Here he goes again.Like clockwork, fired FBI Director James Comey sent out another cryptic tweet just as Deputy AG Rod Rosenstein was set to testify before the House Judiciary Committee Wednesday.Comey destroyed the FBI yet he arrogantly tweets Bible verses and philosophical quotes as if he’s holier-than-thou. Comey, your day of reckoning is coming soon. (Photo) Chairman of the House Judiciary Committee Bob Goodlatte called for the hearing after recent media reports revealed the political motives of Special Counsel Mueller’s staff. Minutes before Deputy AG Rosenstein was set to testify before the House Judiciary Committee, Comey taunted President Trump in

Texas Democratic Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee took to Twitter on Tuesday night to offer congratulations and her explanation, for why Doug Jones won the Alabama Senate election.Instead, she ended up extending congratulations to someone called “Doug Moore,” while referencing NFL anthem-kneelers: (Tweet) Doug Jones defeated Roy Moore in a shocking, upset victory on Tuesday night, becoming the first Democrat to represent Alabama in the Senate since 1996. Lee has embraced the anthem protest issue in the past, most notably by kneeling on the floor of the House of Representatives.“I kneel in honor of them.

On Tuesday, Democrat Doug Jones pulled off a stunning victory over Republican Roy Moore in Alabama. The race went down to the wire, but the Democrat prevailed. Here are five things to know about why Jones won, why Moore lost, and what it means for the future of the U.S. Senate and both parties. 1. Character matters. According to NBC News exit polls, 49 percent of Alabama voters thought the sexual assault accusations against Roy Moore were "definitely" or "probably" true. Republicans and Democrats split on partisan lines — a whopping 82 percent of Republicans said the allegations were "probably" or "definitely" false,

DEVELOPING…Democrat Doug Jones has defeated Roy Moore in Alabama’s Senate election, according to a projection from the Fox News Decision Desk.ORIGINAL STORY…The hard-fought Alabama Senate race between Republican Roy Moore and Democrat Doug Jones remains too close to call, though a Fox News voter analysis shows the Democratic nominee enjoying a lead over his GOP rival. Jones’ competitiveness is a remarkable development in a deep red state that reflects just how badly Moore has been hurt by a sex scandal. But the race is still fluid. With 87 percent of precincts reporting, Jones and Moore both had 49.2 percent, according to

On Tuesday’s broadcast of MSNBC’s “Morning Joe,” co-host Mika Brzezinski argued President Trump’s tweet about Senator Kirsten Gillibrand (D-NY) constitutes sexual harassment and that people who work around the president and don’t try to get him to delete the tweet don’t care about the country or women. Brzezinski said, “I just want to say something, beyond the fact that it is reprehensible that the president of the United States would say something so derogatory and disgusting about a woman, we’re not surprised, Mr. President. You do it all the time. You treat women terribly, and you treat the women around

Franken announced last Thursday that he would be resigning “in the coming weeks” after eight different women accused him of groping or forcibly kissing them. “The timing of Franken’s resignation remains unclear, as is his motive in delaying it,” New York Magazine’s Ed Kilgore noted at the time. Franken has yet to offer any more specificity about when he’s going to follow through in resigning. Franken’s office did not return multiple requests for comment on the subject. Franken begrudgingly offered his resignation after 35 Democratic senators called on him to do so, three weeks after he was first accused

The family of the alleged ISIS-inspired Port Authority bomber said they were “heartbroken” by the attack on Monday and blasted law enforcement agencies for what they claimed were heavy-handed tactics by investigators. “We are heartbroken by the violence that was targeted at our city today and by the allegations being made against a member of our family,” said the statement read by Albert Fox Cahn, the Legal Director for the NY Chapter Council for Islamic Relations. “But we’re also outraged by the behavior of the law enforcement officials who held children as small as 4 years old out in the

President Trump attacked Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand (D-N.Y.) in a sexually suggestive tweet Tuesday morning that implied Gillibrand would do just about anything for money, prompting a swift and immediate backlash. “Lightweight Senator Kirsten Gillibrand, a total flunky for Charles E. Schumer and someone who would come to my office ´begging´ for campaign contributions not so long ago (and would do anything for them), is now in the ring fighting against Trump,” the president wrote. “Very disloyal to Bill & Crooked-USED!”

Margaret Thatcher was born one. So were predecessor Prime Ministers Benjamin Disraeli and William E. Gladstone. Diana, the princess of Wales, too. Also William Pitt, who presided over the British victory in the French and Indian War and lent his name to Pittsburgh. And, according to some university authorities four decades ago, me as well. We were all born commoners. But — despite what newspapers, websites and television stations on both sides of the Atlantic have reported with wonder and wild-eyed delight — Meghan Markle, the actor who is to marry Prince Harry, is not a commoner. She’s an American, and

A supposed "rising star" at the State Department has resigned in anger over President Trump´s and Secretary of State Rex Tillerson´s policies. Elizabeth Shackelford gave her resignation letter to the left-leaning Foreign Policy magazine, which was, of course, all too happy to publish it. Shackelford´s letter says she believes the new administration has abandoned human rights as a priority, and shows disdain for the State Department´s diplomatic work. "I have deep respect for the career Foreign and Civil Service staff who, despite the stinging disrespect this Administration has shown our profession, continue the struggle to keep our foreign policy on the positive

Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) faced criticism for saying that President Donald Trump “slut-shamed” Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand (D-NY) with a non-sexual insult, Tuesday. After President Donald Trump made a post on Twitter claiming that Sen. Gillibrand “would do anything” for campaign contributions, Sen. Warren made her own post accusing Trump of “slut-shaming.” “Are you really trying to bully, intimidate and slut-shame @SenGillibrand?” asked Sen. Warren in her post. “Do you know who you’re picking a fight with? Good luck with that, @realDonaldTrump. Nevertheless, #shepersisted.” Are you really trying to bully, intimidate and slut-shame @SenGillibrand? Do you know who you´re picking a fight with? Good

President Donald Trump said Monday a bomb blast in Manhattan highlights the need for an immigration overhaul - as the man arrested was revealed to be part of a large Bangladeshi family sponsored by his aunt or uncle. Trump said that the U.S. ´must fix its lax immigration system, which allows far too many dangerous, inadequately vetted people´ into the country. The Republican president pointed to his controversial travel ban as an example of the kind of policy that needs to be put in place. And he called on Congress to end ´chain migration,´ in which family members are permitted to join relatives

Special prosecutors, investigators, and counsels are usually a bad idea. They are admissions that constitutionally mandated institutions don’t work — and can be rescued only by supposed superhuman moralists, who are without the innate biases inherent in human nature. The record from Lawrence Walsh to Ken Starr to Patrick Fitzgerald suggests otherwise. Originally narrow mandates inevitably expand — on the cynical theory that everyone has something embarrassing to hide. Promised “short” timelines and limited budgets are quickly forgotten. Prosecutors search for ever new crimes to justify the expense and public expectations of the special-counsel appointment. Soon the investigators need to

"Mr. Trump continues to exhibit paranoia about American intelligence agencies," wrote the NeverTrump conservative Max Boot in the New York Times a week or so before the president took office. "Consumed by his paranoia about the deep state, Donald Trump has disappeared into the fog of his own conspiracy theories," declared the Times´ Maureen Dowd. "Paranoia seizes Trump´s White House," reported Politico, noting the suspicion that "career intelligence operatives are working to undermine the new president." Actually, they were. "It´s no mystery why Trump doesn´t trust U.S. intelligence agencies," Bloomberg´s Eli Lake wrote last month. "As the old saying goes:
